The temptation to look is hard to resist

For some reason, this feels especially true today …

Our Father,
Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On earth
as it is in Heaven.

Give us, this day,
Our daily bread.

Forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive
those who have trespassed
against us.

Lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.

For thine,
is the Kingdom,
and the Power,
and the Glory.

Forever.
Amen.

 

Let there be light

There is something about light in the darkness. Even with my eyes closed I can still see it.

Do you see what I see above the Love?

The dancing

and

moving

and

flickering

and

playing

of…what is it that dances and moves in the periphery of my vision? I do not see it with my eyes, yet I know that it’s there. It’s teasing me.

Yet, it’s teaching me.

That no darkness is so dark, no eyes are so closed, no situation is so dim or life so spent that the light of God cannot get in. Light’s like that.

To all of you who read The Kinesthetic Christian, occasionally, often or always, please know my thanks. For the light a writer sheds can only ever be as bright as the flicker it finds in those who read it. Light’s like that.

May this season blaze in brilliance for you and for all you Love.

Merry Christmas,

Wendy
